Vercel CLI deploys a web application from its project directory, authenticates interactively when needed, reports build logs, and returns a deployment URL. section 9.6.3
Prepare the project before deployment:
- Configure required environment variables in Vercel project settings and select a compatible Node.js version. section 9.6.3
- Run npm run build locally; a local build failure indicates the deployment will fail as well. section 9.6.3
- Install the CLI globally, then run vercel from the project directory and inspect the resulting console logs and URL. section 9.6.3
$ npm install -g vercel
Install the Vercel CLI globally with npm. section 9.6.3
$ vercel
Launch deployment from the project directory. section 9.6.3
Recover from a failed deployment
Check the local build for syntax errors or missing dependencies. If cached framework files may be causing persistent errors, redeploy with vercel --force; inspect detailed logs through the dashboard or vercel logs. section 9.6.3
